You need to also spend $20 on food, which is easy with such delicious options like tortilla de cangrejo (crab omelette with shallots, asparagus, Manchego cheese, and tomato hollandaise) and French toast a la cubana (vanilla custard-soaked brioche topped with pure maple syrup and panela-soaked sweet plantains and whipped cream).

Then wash your meal down with the mimosa or the shishito pepper margarita. Go bottomless for $29 (classic)or $45 (deluxe) per person!
14. Pisco Y Nazca
N 19th St & N 18th St, Washington, DC 20036
(202) 559-3726
Peruvian food is always an excellent idea, especially when you combine it with bottomless mimosas! It’s a steal at just over $20 per person. Combine it with their prix fixe menu to get a sampling of all the good start. We love the causa, a Peruvian potato based delicacy and the cholo benedicto with pork belly and plantain. Be aware that bottomless service ends at 3:45pm so plan accordingly.
